THE OLD CHURCH BELL.

The old bell in the tower of the Presby
erian Church in this place has been taker
Town and replaced by new one. The fol
owing lines suggested by its removal were
written by Jefferson county lady:
Take it down gently,
Handle it with care,
From the old belfry,
Too low and too square.
Long has it hung there;
And memory can tell
The Past TO the Present,
BY the old Church Bell.
Long has it rung there,
In sunshine and rain;
Calling the worshippers
Again and again.
Long has it rung there,
In war and in peace;
Calling the wOTshippers
TO pray and not cease.
Long has it rung there,
In Joy and in sorrow;
Calling to-day 70 duty,
For We know not tomorrow"
Long has il rung there,
To call from the Manse
Our Pastor 70 his pulpit,
Christ's cause to advance.
Long has it rung there;
Until one by one,
4 host Of the worshippers
Have been called home.
Long has it rung there;
And for young and old,
To the sad, silent grave,
Funeral notes has tolled.
Long has it rung there;
The Old Sexton at last,
Worn out with LIES labors,
Belongs to the Past.
Long has it rung there,
Tho never attune;
Wei cherish its mem'ry
For work it has done.
Long has it rung there;
And may we at last,
Like the old Church Bell,
In a new mould be cast.
Take it down gently;
Give IL a thought;
Many years it hung there
Many changes they brought.
Get up its successor
And All who can tell,
For whom the new bell
VIII ring its first knell?
Hang mp the new Bell
In a new steeple;
And long may it ring
For Pastor and People.
Hang up the new Bell
In a new tower
And long may It's clear notes
The glad welkin go round.
